Unfinished Business
The third book in the Amaka Thrillers series. Funke’s assignation with her pastor lover is cut short when he is assassinated in their hotel room, as she hides naked and terrified inside a sofa. Desperate for help, she calls on Amaka, who has moved to London. One frantic phone call later and Amaka is headed back to Lagos, where she is thrust into a world of private jets, money-laundering and mega-churches. With the trustworthy Police Inspector Ibrahim out of the country, Amaka has to use all the resources at her disposal, with the hostile Inspector Musa breathing down her neck, and a ticking clock bearing down on her, as she works to rescue Funke and get to the bottom of this tangled web of missing money, dead pastors and corrupt government officials.

Easy Motion Tourist
“A great novel about a horrifying place that was all new to me, and will surely resonate as all new to most British readers. It’s shocking, it’s funny, it’s a vaulting jackal of a book that rips out your throat… and your heart. This book roils, rages, and roars. Leye Adenle has my vote for crown prince of crime writers in the UK.”
James Ellroy
“Fast and furious … it’s a ROLLER COASTER ride through a world of extremes, where everything is up for grabs”
The Guardian
“Gritty, gripping, and hard to put down, Easy Motion Tourist delves into the dark side of Lagos, with a narrative structure that feels fresh and an incredibly immersive atmosphere. A welcome twist on the contemporary thriller.”

The Beautiful Side of the Moon
In which a Nigerian saves the world.
Drawing on age-old African story-telling traditions, modern science-fiction and contemporary thriller writing, The Beautiful Side of the Moon conjures up an entirely new way of seeing the world.
The central character, Osaterin, thinks he is just a modest IT guy living in Lagos – but it turns out he is much, much more than that…
A delightful, playful, thoughtful adventure in speculative fiction by one of Nigeria’s most exciting new writers.
Lagos Noir
“There is…greed, innocence, ambition, and all the trappings that make crime stories so engaging. The Lagos angle is as educating and eye-opening as it is engaging, quickly encouraging the reader to side with any protagonist, no matter how shady, because they’re still better than the corruption all around them. Well, most of the time.”
– Manhattan Book Review
“This volume is a must, as it introduces new writers of considerable talent and new works by writers you may have read and enjoyed previously…If you just like good stories about ordinary people with an extraordinary twist, this collection should not be missed.” – New York Journal of Books
“. . . a gem of an anthology. . . a whole new movement, spearheaded by Sunshine Noir”
– Peter James
“Move over, mysteries set in Nordic places. The bright, warm, lush world is a greenhouse for evil.”
– Timothy Hallinan
